Some may recall our youngest of three daughters was born without any thumbs and she had her left index finger moved over to the thumb position in Dec. 2017 and God answered "Our" prayers. So now we come to you again Father to answer our prayers for her operation on her Right hand this Monday April 15 as the Surgeons will attempt to straighten her right hand and Cast it to straighten her wrist area. She won't be getting the index moved to make a thumb and not certain if the Dr's can but may at a later date. Please if you all will pray for little Darci with us I ask in Jesus name. Thank you ALL Prayer warriors

Keith,My wife Jian and I have been following your posts closely. My son KaiYi (9yo) was born in China. He and his mommy Jian fly to their home town (village) in South China annually. This year they have a goal to find our own Darci.

I am so happy to know of Darci's successful surgery and that she has the best parents in the world!

Tony, That is Awesome news and so glad you all follow. We used to have blogs when we flew over and it showed our daily journey each day when we adopted all the girls. Not sure if I am spelling this correctly but Ande was from the Jiangxi and Kaci &Darci were both from Jiangsu Province . Our oldest now 13 wants to go on a Mission trip to the orphanage Steven Curtis Chapman had built in memory of one of his daughters he adopted from China. Not sure anyone knows him but he wrote the most beautiful song called "When Love takes you In"? and it was so inspiring and moved both my wife and I with a nudge from dear friends to go and adopt our girls. Then Steven and his wife tragically lost one of their daughters when his son came home from graduation and I believe her name was Maria (I'll check on that) ran out to greet him and he accidentally didn't see her as he drove up the lane . I'll leave it at that but the son took it very hard. Anyway Ande wants to go see the orphanage they have there when she gets older and can save up the money. Tony we will pray all go's well and I'm excited for you and your family.

Tony and anyone else this video will touch the hardest of hearts and I actually tear up every time I watch it.With friends showing me this video God opened my wife and my hearts like never before. So Doc grab a tissue and watch this as well I dare you

Tried to watch it Keith, but these old ears can't make out the words in most videos...at least on the computer AND on a radio, so I'm guessing it's ME... You ever find it with the lyrics share that... pretty video though!

The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!

"When Love Takes You In"

I know you've heard the storiesBut they all sound too good to be trueYou've heard about a place called homeBut there doesn't seem to be one for youSo one more night you cry yourself to sleepAnd drift off to a distant dream

Where love takes you in and everything changesA miracle starts with the beat of a heartWhen love takes you home and says you belong hereThe loneliness ends and a new life beginsWhen love takes you in

And somewhere while you're sleepingSomeone else is dreaming tooCounting down the days untilThey hold you close and say I love youAnd like the rain that falls into the seaIn a moment what has been is lost in what will be

When love takes you in everything changesA miracle starts with the beat of a heart

And this love will never let you goThere is nothing that could ever cause this love to lose its hold

When love takes you in everything changesA miracle starts with the beat of a heartWhen love takes you home and says you belong hereThe loneliness ends and a new life beginsWhen love takes you in it takes you in for goodWhen love takes you in

Of the four years I spent in China, more than two of em were near and/or in Hefei City. We visited an orphanage in south Anhui. At the time there were no little ones available there...they were all apparently moved to an unknown destination. At that time "throwaway" children were many.

Tony, Thank you and if you know me I had to ask my oldest daughter how to spell the province she came from. I am about as dumb as they come on spelling correctly and turning 56 this year I'm losing my 'How do ya spell this" and "What was I just about to do" and "Where the heck did I put that"! P.S. Tony disregard that I just looked up your handle to see how old you were and you have 11 years on me lol..You already know but remembered all them Lyrics without missing a lick.

Well tomorrow Darci gets her cast off sooner then expected so please pray if you will that all goes well with the removal of the cast and getting stitch's out and also for safe travel mercies for my wife and Darci as they go and return home in Jesus name !

Thank You All once again Prayer Warriors for praying for a Great report for Darci and Travel Mercies. All went well with the removal of the cast and Darci's arm reconstruction so she can "Now" have a straight arm from elbow to wrist area. She has to take therapy once we get it set up with the insurance company but Praise be to God for directing the Surgeons hands as he installed a plate and screws in Darci's arm. The stitch's were removed and now she has to wear her cast as a splint. They cut it in half and added padding and Velcro so she can now slip it on at school or playing and remove whenever she needs a break. She will get another splint or two made as she develops strength and mobility but ALL IN ALL just a miracle from He whom created this little sweetheart. Thanks once again everyone and Blessings to you as well. Keefer's <')))><
